You are self-employed because you are responsible for your own career. You have certain talents, time and many other abilities that someone is willing to pay a price for. It is your responsibility to sell those abilities to earn an income.

We are responsible for our own career to earn an income and a living by selling our time and abilities, in that sense we are self-employed.

This income can be generated by working for a boss and earn a salary or any other form of income, but basically you are making your time, skills, talents available to somebody else who is willing to pay for that. Other people may earn their income by not working for a boss to earn a fixed salary, but is responsible to generate their own income stream by selling a service or product that they have developed or manufactured. They are responsible to generate an income and are not working for a boss. Those people are normally referred to as being self-employed.

The size of your income stream does not depend on your abilities, talents or skills, but is more being influenced by your attitude, your commitment, self-discipline and other personal issues than the external circumstances.

We are living in a fast changing world. The principles about jobs, employment, income, retirement, that applied in the past is not applicable anymore.

We must accept the following realities of the economy and employment:

Unemployment is becoming a world economic problem and youth unemployment even a bigger one. You cannot be certain that you will always have a job.

Job insecurity is a reality. Nobody can be sure he will be employed for the next 5 years either with the present employer of being employed at all.

The job market and skills needed is changing fast. You need new skills and adapt to the changing job environment to be sure that your skills will be in demand and you will be able to sell your abilities to earn an income.

You will most probably live longer than your parents and will have to live longer on your retirement money than your predecessors. So you will need more retirement money.

Most people are not able to survive financially on their monthly salary or are not able to earn enough money to have the lifestyle that they would love to have.

We must adapt or die. We must accept that we have to change to survive in the fast changing work environment.

Those people that do not accept this will not be able to survive financially, mentally and emotionally in the future. They will have problems finding employment, not being able to survive financially, have stress and other emotional problems due to the increasing uncertainty of the traditional job and employment environment that we are encountering. These uncertainty will not disappear it will become worse in future.

Each of us has choices. We are responsible for our own income, lifestyle or life and to satisfy our personal and family’s needs. The government or nobody else will be able to satisfy those personal needs.

If you are not satisfied with your income or lifestyle: You must make a choice: are you willing to change your attitude to be able to earn the kind of income that will satisfy your needs or if you are not willing to change and will sink deeper into a hole and experience more financial and emotional problems in future.

You will not be able to change the circumstances of your work environment or the Government or the world economy, or other related factors that may influence your personal salary or income.

You must choose to adapt or die. You will not be able to change your circumstances, but you can change your attitude to achieve your dreams. Are you willing to change or not? It is your choice.
